Celebrate!! Goodman - Inside and Out – 75 Years of Design & Community

Join us for a special panel discussion around Charles Goodman, one of the most influential architects behind the region’s mid-century modern communities.

On Saturday, May 16 from 1  to 3pm at the Wheaton Recreation Center (Art Room, 2nd Floor), this dynamic panel discussion brings together architects, historians, appraisers, and residents to explore the lasting impact of Goodman’s work.

Through engaging presentations and conversation, speakers will dive into:

• The history and preservation of mid-century modern architecture
• Goodman’s vision for affordable, well-designed housing
• The unique character of Wheatoncrest homes
• Strategies for renovating while preserving the Goodman spirit
• The enduring influence of mid-century modern design, including furniture and interiors

Whether you’re a homeowner, design enthusiast, preservation advocate, or simply curious about local history, this event offers a rare opportunity to learn how Goodman’s ideas continue to shape the way we live today.
